The Gunfighter

Jasper!

That was five bullets.

You better make the next one count.

Son of a bitch.

Son of a bitch.

I got you pinned, boy.

Come on out.

That was your sixth bullet, son.

You're done, boy.

Yes, sir.

There was only two ways this was gonna end,

and you choose the wrong way.

Now, turn over...

so I don't have to shoot you in the back twice.

Who'd you cross, hmm?

I think so too.

Tick tock, tick tock.

Unlucky.

Can I speak to the man of the house?

Why don't you put your hands where I can see 'em?

Both hands!

Uh, I would if I could, ma'am.

You get shot?

Ma'am, I'm a U.S. Marshal.

I'm asking you for assistance.

Marshal young as you would get shot in the back.

You can sleep in the yard

till you're well enough to git along.

- Thank you, ma'am. - Uh-huh.

I ain't gonna try anything funny, ma'am.

Who did that to your shoulder?

Are they still alive?

Can I trouble you for a cup of coffee, ma'am?

Thank you, ma'am.

What are you even doing way out here without a horse or nothin'?

- Ma'am... - You can tell me or get out.

I have a right to know who sleeps on my property.

I was taking a prisoner down from Tanner City to Morlansburg.

He was a leader of a band of outlaws out near Chapton ways.

He just got the drop on me real good.

Scared my horse away.

Stole a pistol.

Shot me in the back. I had to kill him.

Shame I had to leave his body there though.

Man's got $5,000 on his head and...

now he's just rotting in the middle of the desert.

Five thousand dollars.

That's a lot of money.

That must be a real bad man to have that much put on him.

Nah.

Just means he stole a lot of money from the wrong person.

What can I get ya?

A horse and a rifle.

Sorry to be an inconvenience, ma'am.

Should be out of here tomorrow.

Know where you're headed?

I was hoping you could point me in the direction

of the nearest town, if you wouldn't mind.

Just keep heading that way.

You'll hit Carsonville in two or three days.

Is that where your husband's at?

Mm-hmm.

Well...

I can stay till your husband gets back, if you like.

You should go as soon as you're able.

Thank you, ma'am.

Mm-hmm. Dinner's at dusk.

Hola, compadre.

Could you help me with a drink of water, maybe some food?

Tengo hambre.

No.

I'm not really asking.

May I?

Que Bonita pistola.

I'm gonna need that too.

You should move along.

Tell that to my friends.

Que lastima.

Survival is restraint.

I'm... I'm sorry, ma'am.

My name's Annabell, and I'd like it if you used it.

Don't be so shy, Marshal.

I'll see you inside for coffee in a minute.

Thank you, ma'am.

Good morning, Mr. Jefferies.

Your wife has been very hospitable to me this morning.

I didn't see you when I rode in.

How was my oatmeal?

Excuse me?

You my cousin?

No, sir, I am not.

Hmm.

So we aren't related.

I just can't understand why the hell you're in my house,

at my table, in my chair, eating my oatmeal.

Thank you, ma'am.

It was delicious.

So what kinda badge is that?

Special Detective.

Well.

What is it exactly you, uh, specially detect?

How did you hurt your arm, Mr. Jefferies?

He, uh, fell while he was working.

And the lacerations on your wrist?

That's an awful big word, partner.

How did you hurt your wrist?

I know what it means.

On my last drive, a steer bolted,

dragged me clean off my horse.

Messed me up real good.

It's part of the job.

Well, I do hope you recover soon.

Thank you.

Ma'am, do you mind if I ask you a few questions before I go?

Like...

Like what?

Have you seen any men pass through here recently?

Talkin' 'bout the man who came by yesterday and stole my horse?

What are you gonna do about that, lawman?

Gonna help me get my stolen property back?

I'd be much obliged.

Ma'am...

what did this man look like?

I don't know. Pretty normal, I guess.

Average.

Yeah, I didn't really get a good look at him.

What exactly did he do?

Stole a lot of money that didn't belong to him.

That's all?

He's also killed just about everyone who got in his way,

but that's not my concern.

So you're just trying to get that money back then.

How much did they get away with anyway?

Now, that's privileged information, Mr. Jeffries.

Sent you out here.

Must've been enough to share.

That and a noose.

Rest assured, the outlaws will hang.

Was he wounded when he came through?

I don't know. He looked pretty able and dangerous to me.

It's really too bad about your injury.

Must have been hard to watch $5,000 just ride away.

You looking for something in that little Bible you got there?

No, I found it.

Now, that is a nice suit.

They uniform all you Pinkertons that way?

That makes you a special detective.

How long have you two been married?

I think you've asked enough questions.

How long have you two been married?

Eight years.

Eight years, since I was sixteen.

Eight years.

You have been married to this man for eight years.

Yes, sir.

Look at me.

Now, just the two of you live here?

Yes, sir.

Can you play that banjo?

No. That's my husband's.

Play it.

Play it.

I gotta tune it first.

I haven't played in a spell.

What you wanna hear?

Music.
